Ft. Meade Soldier Killed in Police Involved Shooting
Posted By: Meg Jollett
A corporal with the U.S. Military was shot and killed during a police involved shooting in downtown Baltimore early Sunday morning.
Alexander Larkin, 25, who is stationed at Fort Meade, was involved in an altercation with 3 other men.

A uniformed officer approached the group, gave verbal commands and then maced them.

That's when police say Larkin pulled out a 50 caliber Desert Eagle handgun and opened fire on the officer.

The officer returned fire killing Larkin. The officer was not injured.


Conflicting reports, his friends say that he had taken out a pistol to scare off an attacker who had started a fight with his friends and that the weapon was NOT directed toward the officer. Per local news.

1. I have to say I support our military, but letting them carry on leave
Is Asinine.

2. We're going to see a lot more stories like this for the next few years...
... a lot of these guys are going to be coming back to a new set of rules, when they've been trained to handle any confrontation with violence. I should say 'you and me are going to be seeing a lot of these stories'. Of course, the War Pigs who started all of this are going off to the comfort of Country Clubs, Luncheon speeches and Gated communities.
